So. Gone about a year without being in a game. Funny that. Dunno, maybe despite your attempts to look for one, it's still not something you need, can handle, or focus too much on. It's all good. There's life outside of RP, yanoo. (WHAT NO!) Just take the time away from pretending to be fictional characters for extended stints to focus on whatever other stuff you actually need to. No harm in that. There're always doofy little memes to jump into when you need that bit of escapist funtime.

RL is... some kind of beast, no? Good things've happened last year, though! Just, things are things. We take them as they come, deal, and hopefully come out of them with little epiphanies and as better, wiser versions of ourselves. Or something. Yeah. All part of growing up, like Dad always says. Remember and cherish what and especially who's important. They're what pull you through when you need it.

So. Last year's resolution to get published was a total bust. Can't say I'm surprised, knowing me. Try not to get too hard on yourself. Always easier said than done when you're as thin-skinned as you are, but failure's just another chance to try again. Even if at the time it just feels like it's evidence of your sucktitude. Keep at it. Write, edit, submit, rinse, repeat. It'll happen one day. Hopefully this year. But you don't get anything if you don't work for it.

Teal deer: Stop being a lazy bum. That goes for everything in general.

Think we've said our peace. Let's end this before it gets even more sappy with all the more ~*~feels~*~. To 2013, whatever it brings to the metaphorical table.

Some end salutation or whatevs,
Ashi
